While the junior forward was named to the 2010-11 Preseason All-SEC Team as one of the league’s top five players, Vanderbilt was picked to finish one spot out of the basement in the SEC East.

Vanderbilt was the No. 2 seed in the SEC East last season.

Is it possible the Commodores could actually wind up with a better team than they had a year ago and still be three spots lower in the standings? Sure it is. The East appears to be much deeper this season with the key players coming back at Florida and Georgia. Bulldogs junior Trey Thompkins was named the Preseason SEC Player of the Year.
